Thousands of people in the UK suffer from food poisoning every year. In fact more people than official figures show probably suffer with food poisoning, as many cases go unreported or do not get a formal diagnosis from a doctor. Food poisoning occurs after eating food contaminated with harmful organisms such as: • bacteria • viruses • chemicals and metals Food poisoning may also occur after eating plants and fish which are naturally poisonous to humans such as deadly nightshade, death cap mushrooms, certain other fungi, rhubarb leaves and puffer fish.
